KELLOGG PEDIGREE PLANTS PAID FOR HIS $4,000 HOME 
ED ANDREWS of Lansing, Mich, started growing strawberries a few years ago with neither money nor ex- 
. perience Today he owns the fine home shown here valued at $4,000. Just two acres of Kellogg Pedigree 
Plante erown the Kellogg Way, and a determination to win, made this possible. Needless to say, Mr. Andrews con- 
tinues to use the Kellogg Pedigree Plants exclusively. Why not let the Kellogg Pedigree Plants and Kellogg-s 
Free Service buy a home for you? 
and cultivate two acres under the old system, 
when you can make more clear dollars from one 
acre cultivated under our intensive method.

this easy and profitable way of growing straw- 
berries. 
Hill Culture and Why We 
Recommend It 
THERE is no question but that the hill system 
is the easiest, simplest, and the most profit- 
able way to grow strawberries. We might 
just as well try to grow fancy peaches from trees 
set in a crowded manner and without pruning, 
as to try to grow fancy strawberries in matted 
rows where each plant is crowded, and has no room 
to develop either plant or fruit. Strawberry 
plants, like fruit trees, must have a sufficient 
feeding area for their roots, and they must also be 
grown so the sun and air can penetrate through 
their foliage, in order to bring the berries into 
full maturity and the highest state of perfection. 
Before we had completed our experiments with 
the hill system, we recommended either the sin- 
gle or double hedge-row systems, but we are now 
thoroughly convinced that the hill system is the 
best, as it has none of the disadvantages of the 
other systems, while it has the following advan- 
tages over all other systems. 
1. Each plant has a feeding zone sufficient to 
enable it to develop to full maturity, and to build 
up a crown system than will insure the largest 
possible crop of the fanciest berries. 
2. It is possible for the grower to cultivate his 
plants more thoroughly and more easily than can 
possibly be done when runners are present, which 
means that the entire field can be kept entirely 
free from all weeds and obnoxious growths with 
the least amount of work and expense. 
3. The berries grow to much larger size, ripen 
more evenly, are firmer and of better flavor and 
quality. 
4. Picking is much easier and requires much 
l6ss time 
5. We already have said that strawberries 
properly grown are more than half sold. The hill 
system produces a class of berries that sells at 
sight and at a price that will give you the largest 
possible profit. 
In buying, we are influenced largely by ap- 
pearance, and the majority of the people are will- 
ing to pay an advanced price in order to get that 
which presents to them the best appearance. 
Then why not grow berries in a manner that will 
produce the kind that will attract the eye and in- 
fluence the purchaser to buy at your own price? 
Ourcustomers who follow the hill system, write 
us that their berries sell at from three to five 
cents per quart above regular market price, and 
that their berries always sell in preference to 
common berries. Mr. B. C. Baker, one of our
